Motion for a resolution

Amendment

16 (new). Welcomes the onset of a trend of shifting the priorities of the CAP with less resources being allocated to direct payments and market measures. Calls in this respect for a shift of allocation of CAP resources from direct payment and market measures, towards measures guiding improvements in the agricultural sector in the fields of social-economic and environmental sustainability, animal welfare and biodiversity. Calls therefore for the creation of measurable milestones on these improvements, with regular monitoring by the Commission and reporting to the Parliament.
